High Altitude Installations 

U.L. Listed gas appliances are tested and approved without 
requiring changes for elevations from 0 to 2,000 feet in the 
U. S. A. and in Canada.

When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2,000 
feet, it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by 
changing the existing burner orifi ce to a smaller size. Input 
rate should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 feet above 
a 2000 foot elevation in the U.S.A. or 10% for elevations 
between 2000 and 4500 feet in Canada. If the heating 
value of the gas has been reduced, these rules do not 
apply. To identify the proper orifi ce size, check with the 
local gas utility.

If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4,500 feet 
(in Canada), check with local authorities.
